- Many of Ukraine's top museums, galleries, and performing arts venues are located on these chaotic but well-kept streets.

The Best Places to Visit in Lviv
Old Town
- Lviv was fortunate enough to escape major destruction during WWII, and its location on the trade routes between the Black Sea and Central Europe provided it with more beautiful architecture than you could possibly see in a single visit.
- The old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with over 2,000 registered landmarks, many of which are in excellent condition despite their age of 500 years.
- All of the wooden buildings were destroyed by two fires in the 1500s, resulting in an abundance of sophisticated stone-built architecture.
- Market Square, which we'll get to shortly, should be the starting point for any sightseeing tour.
St George’s Cathedral
- From its namesake hill on the city's west side, this 18th-century Catholic cathedral offers panoramic views of Lviv.
- It was constructed over a period of 15 years, from 1760 to 1780, and its exterior ornamentation is as ornate as it gets.
- There are lavish Rococo pilasters, sculptures, balustrades, and highly ornate mouldings against pale yellow walls.
- Two dominant statues, one of St Leo and the other of St Athanasius, stand above the portal, both the work of Czech sculptor Johann Georg Pinsel.
- After all that drama, the interior is much more subdued, but there are some fascinating things to see, such as a "wonder-working" icon of Mary from the 1600s and tombs for some of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic church's most illustrious figures.
Market Square
- All of the Old Town's streets seem to converge on this historic and bustling central square, which surrounds Lviv's Town Hall.
- Market Square is bustling with locals, tourists, and street performers, and there's almost too much to see in just one plaza: On both sides of the square, there are magnificent townhouses, many from the Renaissance (especially on the East side) and some with later Rococo designs.
- There are numerous museums and tasteful artisan shops, as well as bars, restaurants, and cafes where you can watch the crowds.
- Four classical fountains, one on each corner, complete the scene, depicting Diana, Neptune, Adonis, and Amphitrite.
